Chapter 123 The Dragon And The Empress
Chapter 123 The Dragon And The Empress
The Crimson Training Sword indicated refusal and began to communicate with its master.
"What? You're saying it's safe here, that everyone here is on our side, so there's no need to keep pretending to be a sword all the time?"
"You still want to play with my daughter? Do you think she's cute?"
"...Hmm, alright, I think what you said makes sense."
"It's true that everyone here is from our Chu family. I allow you to transform."
"But, I only allow you to transform in front of Xiaoyuehan, understand?"
"In front of others, you would scare them."
"You're a dragon, ordinary people wouldn't be able to accept it if they saw you."
Hearing Xiaohong's request, Chu Qianqiu agreed.
Alright, he could tell that Xiaohong, as a child, was just as active as Xiaoyuehan.
If it had to stay in the form of a sword every day, it would definitely feel uncomfortable.
A sword that couldn't move all day, only able to play dead, would indeed be unbearable.
It also needed to play, so he would indulge it.
On the side.
Hearing her father's words, Xiaoyuehan curiously looked at the sword behind her father.
She was thinking, what did her father mean by these words?
Why could he talk to a sword?
This puzzled her for a moment.
However, based on her memories and experiences from her previous life, she quickly understood the situation.
Perhaps, this sword was a living being?
That was the only possibility, just like her former life's treasured sword "Ziyuan".
The treasured sword she had in the heavenly realm was also originally transformed by a living phoenix. But later, in a bloody battle, her phoenix fell, and its body and essence completely integrated into the sword, forever becoming an "inanimate object".
Although it was an inanimate object, the phoenix's soul was still within the sword god, always accompanying her.
It's just that now, after so many years, she didn't know if the phoenix sword spirit was still there, but all of this was irrelevant.
"Roar!"
Just as Xiaoyuehan was contemplating, the Crimson Training Sword had already transformed.
Seeing a sword turn into a dragon, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, never expecting to see something like this here.
"Ah!"
"A dragon?"
"Really... a dragon?"
"Daddy, is this a dragon?"
In disbelief, Xiaoyuehan stared at the real dragon right in front of her, her eyes wide open.
She couldn't believe it, how could there be such a thing in the mortal realm?
This was a dragon!!
By the way, even in the heavenly realm, true dragons were extremely rare.
True dragons and phoenixes, these two divine beasts, were definitely the kings among the kings in the heavenly realm.
And her father, being able to obtain a young true dragon in the mortal realm, what exactly was going on?
"Could it be that the map I saw back then..."
Thinking of the map she had seen before, the map her father had kept, Xiaoyuehan suddenly had a thought.
So, her father had gone to the Panlong Secret Realm in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range?
And he actually managed to find a true dragon!
In other words, that secret realm really existed.
She thought it was fake.
"Ahoo—ahoo!"
Xiao Hong continued to greet the little girl in a friendly manner.
Xiao Yuehan became a little cautious and touched the other party's dragon horn. Only after seeing that the other party didn't attack her did she dare to interact further.
"It's really a dragon!"
"Daughter, you've said it three times already."
"Why, is a dragon a rare existence in your eyes?"
"Well, sorry, but I casually tamed it."
Chu Qianqiu said this boastfully, and even he himself felt that he had gone too far.
If someone else said this to him, he would punch them on the spot. He couldn't stand it.
And the way his daughter was looking at him now, it seemed to have that meaning.
It seemed that his daughter couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"Alright, Dad, I know you're amazing."
"This dragon is a bit too enthusiastic towards me. Can you ask it not to be like this?"
Looking at the red dragon still rubbing against her with its head, like a dog.
Xiao Yuehan couldn't stand it. She had never seen such a humble divine beast.
In her impression, divine beasts were always high and mighty, with an unshakable dignity.
Their every move exuded dominance and awe, making people look up to them from a distance.
But now, this red dragon was rubbing against her with its head like this, and the image of divine beasts in her mind had completely collapsed.
"Alright, I'll make it behave."
"But, this guy doesn't have anyone to play with right now. Daughter, why don't you accompany it? Look how much it likes you."
"Father, I have something to do later. I might have to go on a long journey. You can play with Xiao Hong first. I'll take Xiao Hong with me when I'm ready to leave."
After saying these words, Chu Qianqiu touched Xiao Yuehan's head and let the two of them play in the house while he went to discuss matters with his father.
Xiao Yuehan could only nod, pretending to be helpless on the surface, but secretly curious about this dragon, wanting to see what its true identity was.
In fact, although dragons were divine beasts and very rare, they were not the only ones in the world.
In the heavenly realm, dragons as divine beasts had many branches and existed in different ranks, just like their bloodlines.
Since there were different types of dragons, there naturally had to be the strongest and the weaker ones.
She wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of existence this dragon named "Xiao Hong" belonged to among the dragons, and whether its bloodline was among the noblest.
Her divine soul had recovered somewhat, allowing her to probe the other party, with the prerequisite being the consent of the one being probed.
Therefore, it was necessary to establish a good relationship with this dragon.
...
After temporarily sending away Xiao Hong and her daughter, Chu Qianqiu finally felt relaxed.
He was ready to communicate with his father and make plans to eliminate Xiao Yan, while also taking his mother with him.
He thought for a moment and realized that now, among the entire family, it seemed that only the three of them had real power.
Once the operation started, he would use his Flameless Heavenly Fire to conceal himself and his parents' figures, silently infiltrating the Xiao family for retribution.
But before that, he felt like he was missing something.
Now that he had returned from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and both he and his father's strength had greatly increased, the system should give him something as a reward.
After all, his own strength improvement, coupled with his parents' strength improvement, could be considered as developing the family, so the system must give him something.
Sure enough, when he searched for the system in his mind, he found what he wanted.
In his system's storage, without informing him, the system had secretly left behind a treasure.
This treasure seemed to be a tower, and it looked quite large. If taken out, it would definitely be unimaginable, so Chu Qianqiu didn't do that for now.
"That guy from the system is getting lazier and lazier. He doesn't even personally greet me when he sends something, and I have to check it myself."
"What is this? The Soul Refining Tower?"
